There's
a saying often credited to Ignatius: "Pray as if God will take care of all; act as
if all is up to you." (Cool quote.)
The
same premise applies to luck. Many people feel luck has a lot to do with
success or failure. If they succeed, luck favored them, and if they fail, luck
was against them.
Most
successful people do sense that good luck played some role in their success.
But they don't wait for good luck or worry about bad luck. They act as
if success or failure is completely within their control. If they
succeed, they caused
it. If they fail, they caused it.
By
not wasting mental energy worrying about what might happen to you,
you can put all your effort into making things happen. (And then if you get lucky, hey,
you're even better off.)
You
can't control luck, but you can definitely control you.
